James Pearl Paints Frederick City Landmarks in Acrylic
Frederick artist James Pearl presents three 3 by 5 foot murals for The Village Restaurant on North Market Street. The works depict the Frederick County Courthouse circa 1900, Square Corner on North Market Street circa 1900, and the old B and G Railroad station circa 1860. Pearl says the pieces were thoroughly researched, took three and a half months, and rely on old photos from George Callan. He notes an artist’s liberty with a concrete sidewalk near the B and O station and defends period costumes. Pearl, self taught, has won medals from the Philadelphia Water Color Society and shown at Hagerstown events, and he previously painted a World’s Fair mural in 1964.
